When subtracting values from the mean use only negative or positive differences?
When subtracting values from the mean, you typically calculate the differences as either positive or negative based on whether the individual values are above or below the mean. Positive differences indicate values that are greater than the mean, while negative differences represent values that are less than the mean. This approach helps in understanding the distribution of data around the mean and can be useful in statistical analyses, such as calculating variance or standard deviation.
Would the mean and standard deviation be negative if the set has only negative values?
The mean would be negative, but standard deviation is always positive.
What is an absolute mean?
An absolute mean is a mean of the absolute magnitude of a function with both positive and negative values.
When you calculate a mean the sign of the quotient always depends on the sign of the dividend why?
The mean is calculated by dividing the sum of a set of values (the dividend) by the number of values in that set (the divisor). The sign of the quotient, or the mean, will depend on the sign of the dividend because the divisor (the count of values) is always positive. If the sum of the values is positive, the mean will also be positive; if the sum is negative, the mean will be negative. Thus, the sign of the mean directly reflects the sign of the sum of the values.
For what values of n is -2n positive?
[ -2n ] is positive for all negative values of 'n' .

What do you do when subtracting a positive and a negative?
If you subtract a negative from a positive, add both of their absolute values. If you subtract a positive from a negative, add both of their absolute values and multiply by negative one.
For what values of n is -2n positive?
[ -2n ] is positive for all negative values of 'n' .
Can probability values be negative?
No. Probability values always have to be positive.
When you add a positive number by a negative number will it be negative or positive?
That depends on the values of the given numbers but a positive number multiplied by a negative number will be negative
Are electron affinity values usually positive or negative numbers?
Positive for nonmetals and negative for metals
Why is the sum of a negative number and a positive number is sometimes positive sometimes negative and sometimes zero?
The sum of a negative number and a positive number can be positive, negative, or zero depending on their absolute values. If the positive number has a greater absolute value than the negative number, the result is positive. Conversely, if the negative number has a greater absolute value, the result is negative. If their absolute values are equal, the sum equals zero.
Can the sample mean can equal to zero?
Yes, it can. This happens when all of the observations are equal. This can also happen when some values are negative and some are positive (assuming that the variable under consideration can assume negative values).
If the possible values of a random variable X are between -1 and 6 is the mean of X positive or negative?
It could be either.
